Lee Yi-kyung's Heroic Act of Saving a Life Resurfaces Amidst Privacy Rumors

Amidst circulating privacy rumors, actor Lee Yi-kyung's past heroic deed of saving a citizen's life is being re-examined, causing divided public opinion.

In 2020, Lee Yi-kyung was passing by the Hannam Bridge in Seoul when he spotted a person attempting to jump in front of an oncoming vehicle. He immediately stopped his car and rushed to the scene. The citizen was intoxicated, but Lee Yi-kyung didn't hesitate to grab hold of them and persuade them until the police arrived, preventing a tragedy.

At the time, his agency stated, "Lee Yi-kyung is an actor who is usually very diligent and takes good care of those around him," adding that his actions that day were instinctive. His past actions, which deeply moved many as a life-saver and a brave individual, are now gaining renewed attention.

However, recently, Lee Yi-kyung has been embroiled in controversy due to unverified, defamatory posts circulating online, including screenshots of alleged intimate conversations. Although the posts were deleted, parts of them quickly spread through online communities and social media, escalating the issue. It was later revealed that the accuser had a history of similar accusations and had previously apologized.

In light of these events, his past good deed is being highlighted, leading to a mix of supportive comments and demands for clarification. Lee Yi-kyung's social media is flooded with comments such as, "How could someone with such a warm heart be involved in this?" and "I hope the truth comes out," alongside direct questions like, "Is the blog post true? Please clarify."

While the situation is complex with unverified accusations and past heroic acts being discussed simultaneously, the resurfacing of Lee Yi-kyung's sincere actions in saving a life is leading to a growing sentiment that cautious observation of the facts is necessary, rather than jumping to premature conclusions.

Netizens are showing divided reactions, with many defending him by referencing his past act of saving a life, commenting, "Lee Yi-kyung wouldn't do something like that." Others are urging him to clarify the rumors, asking for the truth to be revealed.
